Happy 7th Birthday, Sarah Graves!

By -
Always excited to celebrate her birthday, Sarah Graves picked an American Girl themed party! She envisioned it with all the kids in pjs and serving her favorite breakfast, waffles and bacon!

These cuties were so excited to show off their matching pjs for them and their dolls! Lovie made shirts for them and their dolls to all match to mark the special day.

So happy that Lovie and Pops could celebrate with us.


Aaron was the head cook making 4 pounds of bacon and more than 20 waffles for the girls! We did not have leftovers either!

Lovie and Pops outdid themselves on this adorable cake that put Sarah Graves on her own American Girl doll box!




Rainbow Bobby and Elfa Claire came back to celebrate the birthday! They ended up staying a few days after Charlie knocked them down and they had to recover! We aren't sure if Santa will send them back since they were treated rough!


The elves decorated SG's chair for her party! A fun surprise!
I had fun making SG her special birthday cookies. We did stars, hearts, and some special ones with her monogram.


We saw the idea for this fun centerpiece on Pinterest. We used boxes from American Girl things and added some fun things to shoutout her special birthday.
My girl loves roses and these purple pink ones were just right for her.

She put together the goodie bags for her friends. We included a lipgloss, some chocolates, and candy jewelry for each girl.



Sarah Graves was really excited about the crafts for the party. She picked to make a "cake" for her dolls using various colored sponges, pieces of felt, and pom pops!

The kids enjoyed putting together their pieces of cake. 

We played American Girl doll bingo and I don't know if the kids loved eating the hershey kiss markers or winning the prize more! 

Pops gave SG a little bingo strategy talk.

Love those sweet faces!

I found inspiration on Pinterest to make this American Girl doll box photo prop. It was a favorite for the kids!



The fruit kabobs were a big hit with Olivia!

Sarah Graves had a really good time with her friends!



She was very excited to see this candle. She and her friends had a great time watching it open and delighted at the song it played!
I love seeing that big smile on her! It makes all the hard work worth it!


Another craft we did was making tutus for the dolls!

Lovie and these cutie girls!

All of the party guests! The weather was terrible with big thunderstorms and nonstop downpour all morning, which made it especially nice that so many girls could come!

After the friends left, it was time to open presents!
Aunt Barbara and Uncle Less delighted her with a nail painting set and a paint your own tea set!

Aunt Lex and Uncle Tim gave her a fun American Girl doll scrapbook set!

Maw Maw gave her some cute new boots!


Granny and Ger Ger sent this awesome Belle and Beast dollhouse!

She was given a lot of other awesome gifts too. She had fun with lots of new Barbies and doll things!

Frozen Party Details

Like most girls her age, Sarah Graves LOVES Frozen and has known for quite some time that she wanted a Frozen birthday party. I was so excited when I saw this invitation on Etsy and she loved it too! It reminded me of an infographic. The Frozen theme was a lot of fun! There were so many things to choose from that I took to pinterest and eventually decided on the ideas that I would use for this party. I found this great Arendelle banner here on Pinterest I was so grateful that my sister did a snowflake Christmas and had tons of snowflake ornaments to hang as decorations! This party theme was a lot of fun to plan the food. Kristoff's ice cubes were made from Jell-o with an ombre effect. I found the recipe here on Pinterest. I doubled the recipe to make a 13x9 size pan of it and I made 2 13x9 pans of it. The made plenty of "ice cubes" to fill 35 cups. They turned out really cute! My parents made this Elsa cake and did a fabulous job

Sarah Graves loves baking, watching baking shows, and has lots of ideas about cake decorating. She wanted to decorate her cake herself and made it a team effort with Lovie.  She was very proud of the finished product and learned that piping icing isn't as easy as it looks! For her party, friends went ice skating then came back to our house for food and cake! This guy we referred to as "Cat Man" skated around with his cat and at time with hold the cat under its front legs just above the ice and let it sway as he skated! The cat did not seem to mind...it sure did catch our attention! Pierced ears mean fun earrings! Aunt Lexie definitely picked fun ones with these rubber chickens! So many people love this sweet girl and showed up to celebrate her!
